The goal of this course is to emphasize the value of women to each other, the value of love and support, and the value of sisterhood! It is all about brave women sharing their own personal stories in the hopes that we can all learn from one another how to be a supportive sister in this world.

Join us as we come together for one common goal, embracing each other and changing the world. Let’s share our stories AND our tools that have helped us in our own experiences.

Let’s learn to accept and celebrate each others differences! Let’s be sisters and create art in a whole new way!

Online registration will open on February 1st BUT there is also an IN-PERSON workshop and registration for that is now open!!! Unfortunately I am not able to make the in person this year but the other amazing teachers will all be there! Space is limited for the in-person!

Be sure to bookmark this link so that you can also come back on February 1st to register for the online workshop. TAOS is for everyone! I hope to see you there!

I don't have actual sibling sisters but I DO have art sisters. They mean the world to me. They have my back, they teach me, they support me, they accept me, love me and cheer me on. They have held me up when I felt like I couldn't go on. That's just part of what a sisterhood does for you!

Sisterhood is being a part of a group of women who share a common set of values. I am lucky to have had many of these over the years. I count my art buddies as my sisterhood these days - they totally get me!

This looks to be an awesome journey with fantastic people!i think sisterhood could be described as finding a home; a place where we help each other to be the best we can be, and catch each other when we fall! Thank you so much for this opportunity! xx julieannmay01@gmail.com

I have three beautiful sisters and they mean the absolute world to me... we have been through so much together and experienced so much ... love, loss, pain, joy, disappointment, heartache ... but through it all we have stuck together, faced it together, learnt from each other and supported each other the best way we knew how at the time... I wouldn't be the person I am today without them. Thank you for this chance to win a spot in this beautiful class xoanitatillman@hotmail.com

Tribe of women with strong values of togetherness, support, a shoulder to cry on, someone to listen, share goals/sucesses and to give encouragement or guidance when you get a little lost. suburns19@gmail.com

I am the middle of 3 sisters which means growing up I was both a big sister and a little sister. How divine! Sadly my younger sister pass a few years ago from colon cancer. I can honestly say I don't know how I would have survived without my big sister and all my sister-friends. Sisterhood is being there in good times and bad. It's holding space for each other. Hugs! Thanks for the opportunity to win a spot in the course!

Sisterhood means a lot to me ...its being a part of each others journey ....varied as they may be between each other ..we travel with love ..grace and respect for each other and most of all we dance the dance together ..thanks for the chance to win this spot Tracy....

Sisterhood to me means women looking out for each other. Picking you up when you are down.Would love to win a spot in your awesome class. It would just be the right medicine to get me motivated to art again. Thanks for the chance.henry369@hotmail.com

Women who support each other in positive upbeat ways.... especially in their art. ;) This workshop looks amazing! Crossing my fingers and toes I'll be the lucky girl who wins. cduncan1310 (at) surry (dot) com

Grandmothers, Mothers and daughters are all part of a Sisterhood. When women come together it is a Sacred Space.. when art is added to the mix something magical happens. I love my art sisters! ❤ Looks like this class will be an amazing opportunity to explore personally and artistically! artwoman@emullenart.com

Ii define sisterhood as a connection that makes you feel understood and accepted for all that you are and all that you aren't. For the way that connection makes you feel loved and brave and empowered to be completely bare and naked and exposed with your soul wide open to receive the gifts that you deserve. How's that sistah!

It's time for us to be strong,brave and united!! It's time for us to share our common passion, our creativity and to open our souls without the fear of been judged!! It's time to be art-sisters!! Tracy and Kara thank you so much for another amazing course!! <3 ntina_ahm@hotmail.com

I have 3 sisters and I am the oldest. I don't see them as often as I want to. I guess their lives are very busy and they are not as sentimental as I am. I haven't seen my one sister in almost two year and it breaks my heart. She always makes excuses if I want to organise a visit. I guess we are just too different and have grown appart. On the other hand I have my best friend that lives in the same town. She is like my sister. We do almost everything together....even had a shop together at one stage. I guess sisterhood does not have to be real siblings but a person who is there for you, no matter what. veronikasolivier@gmail.com

Sisterhood is the women that we embrace as our “sisters” are sometimes closer than our own family members. They defend us, wipe away our tears, take care of us when we are ill, encourage us in the bad times, lend us money if needed, and support our dreams. And at the very same time these same women will not hesitate to scold us, push us, even anger us in order to protect us.

True sisterhood cannot be forced. It has to be developed with interest, patience, reciprocity and over time. Not every woman will be your best friend, nor should she be invited to be in your inner circle, but every woman is deserving of your respect and support when you are able to provide it. Sisterhood is not a trite word we throw around. Being your sister’s keeper should be a reflex. It should be based on how you would want to be treated if you were walking in her shoes. Sisterhood knows no boundary, no race, no class or geography. Sisterhood transcends and it transforms us for the better. Sisterhood is from the heart.

Sisterhood to me is when women get together and have that instant bond of shared experiences that surpasses age. A perfect example is the upcoming Woman's Marches in cities across the US. The online arts community is another great example of women giving each other encouragement and kindness! Thanks for this give away kristenvarian@gmail.com

Hi Tracy and thank you for this possibility!! For me sisterhood means the connection that I dream between all women, and that for me exist with my sister friends all over the world. It's something special for all of us. I live in a very lucky country,Italy, where women are important but my soul is very unhappy when I think about those places where women are not considered, crushed and violated. So for me sisterhood it means also this, think about them and trying to become stronger for them too.

It would be just lovely to win a spot in this class. Sisterhood to me includes my three sisters, some of the very best friends who I have known for years and those on line women who help and influence me creatively!

This class looks SOOOO awesome!! Sisterhood is a fantastic topic for a class. Sisterhood means so much to me. It means having someone to get my back, to listen when I have something to say, to be there for me whenever I need them! What would we do without our sisters in art?! They hold us up when we are down and celebrate when we accomplish a goal!

This looks and sounds so great! Sisterhood is being there for each other. No matter what. Tell the other one the truth, even though it's hard so hear maybe and then be there and help. Share all you want! Love, fun and sadness. I've always had amazing friends around me luckily, because I don't have real sisters. But thanks to my amazing friends, I do know the lovely and warm feeling of sisterhood!! Looking forward to this course as well!Love, Wendy wbtenhove@gmail.com

Hi Tracy! Sisterhood is SO important in our lives. Even if we don't have a blood sister, we can be sisters in art, encouraging each other, laughing and sharing in the fun. I'd love to win a spot in this class - I checked out your fellow artists, and you are all phenomenal! Have a GREAT, positive, FUN day! Thank you for this opportunity!Jackie Byers (Bloom on FB)jackiesfun@gmail.com

Sisterhood, at the moment, means to me gathering in Washington DC for the US government to hear the voices of Women, who have become marginalized by the election and advisor picks of Big Orange. Sisterhood is a unison chant to be heard and reckoned with. I will be a part of that chant!

What a fabulous giveaway. I have no blood sisters but feel sisterhood with my sister-in-law, two cousins, and best friend. They are all different but amazing women, and I look forward to any chance I have to spend time with them.

I have had sisterhood all my life! My own sister and all the sisters all around th world I choose when I grew up! I could say I become a woman with lots of beautiful women, my soul sisters, my art sisters, my motherhood sisters, my girlfriends sister...I am so glad to have the chance to be a woman, and have all my sisterhood in a part of my heart, by my side everyday of life! I wish I have the luck to win this spot. I cross my fingers. Lots of love. Valérie from France :)

I love the idea of this course SO MUCH! I studied painting as a kid but left it behind for music and writing as I got older. I'd love to go back and dive into that aspect of my life again, and this course sounds like it is the perfect synergy of art, writing, community, and joy. It would be such a gift to share sisterhood with so many kindred souls.

Sisterhood is not only the sisters of blood but everywhere. Women need to learn to stand in unity not against each other. We need to have each other's backs and help each other rise up and be our best selves.

For me means, to can open more my mind and my way of making art and being able to express more through what I do. But, also to have fun and meet anothers friends!! So, thanks so much Tracy, for this opportunity!! :)))

My dear awesome, wonderful, talented, creative friends! It's that time of the year again, a time for recaps and reflections.......

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy. ~Rumi

sweet words from students :)

Dear Tracy,

I have had such an amazing response to your workshop. It has gone far beyond the painting of a picture. You have an incredible , supportive and intuitive energy that is contagious. Teaching others about freeing yourself up, from the ever present ‘critical mind’, is life changing. I am so inspired by your wonderful workshop. I have been applying simple messages from the day into my everyday life, and the roller coaster of life is so much richer and exciting with the knowledge of letting go and trusting in the process. This wonderful painting (that I have hung above my computer) reminds me every day that life always has a way of working out for the better if we just let go.....

Your way of teaching is subtle, yet powerful, and you guide others to discover for themselves important insights. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to be a part of this very special day

~Vanessa

Thanks again Tracy for such a wonderful, colourful, transformative, powerful, peaceful weekend.....I really see how much I get caught in detail and perfection and beautifying and how this has it's value but as you pointed out to me, if I'm feeling like I'm tensing and tightening up with this then move the energy, shift and also be bold to make big changes if things aren't working! That's a big one. But this is life, nothing ever stays completely the same does it!SO yes thanks SO very much for your colourful, loving, gentle yet powerful and generous sharing on the weekend. Looking forward to journeying more with you creatively and in friendship.~Katie
